Description

A trusty storage shed like this one, manufactured by Mercia, can do wonders in any garden when organising and storing items is an issue. With a straightforward windowless design and good quality materials like FSC certified timber, the 8 x 6 Mercia Windowless Overlap Shed with Double Doors is a worthy contender for anyone looking to buy a shed on a budget. 

Features

You might be surprised how much there is to say about the features of this no frills garden shed, but the manufacturer has taken careful consideration into creating the perfect design for its purposes. An example of this are the double doors, which are ledged for a good level of strength to ensure they will stay functional for many years and for security in case you're hoping to add a locking mechanism to your shed. Their ability to allow for a wider opening to the shed than a single door is greatly appreciated by users whenever they aim to store those more awkward items like bikes or wheelbarrows that can otherwise be difficult to squeeze through a narrow entrance. 

But the bedrock of the 8 x 6 Mercia Windowless Overlap Shed with Double Doors' construction is the 7mm timber cladding, which features horizontally placed, rough sawn timber boards that overlap over one another to produce a durable surface to help protect your stored items from the elements. The timber used for this cladding has been dip-treated prior to delivery for a good level of protection in the initial stages of transit and assembly. It is also FSC certified, meaning it is sourced only from sustainable forests. After your shed is complete, elbec advises the use of a high-quality wood preservative to get the most out of your timber and the 10-year anti-rot guarantee that comes with this shed. The Protek range is a great option for doing so in style thanks to a wide range of colours, and is available to order through elbec today. 

This cladding goes hand in hand with the 28mm x 28mm timber framing that makes the shed so stable, and the rugged solid sheet board material used in the roof and floor. Mineral roofing felt is the excellent finishing touch in creating a garden shed that will reliably store your items outside of the home.

Additional Information

Your 8 x 6 Mercia Windowless Overlap Shed with Double Doors is supplied in parts, with an easy to follow instruction manual that shows you how to assemble the shed at home. Putting the shed together may be easier with an extra pair of hands in the form of a friend, and may take one or two days to finish depending on your level of DIY experience. Completing the assembly process can be hugely satisfying, and you should soon apply the wood preservative needed to ensure your 10-year anti-rot guarantee will remain valid. Examine the details of this guarantee with care to ensure you can make use of this coverage if ever necessary.

ALL DELIVERIES ARE DELIVERED TO KERBSIDE OR DRIVEWAY. All of our Mercia products are delivered flat packed other than fence panels (which are delivered fully constructed), direct to your home, and are supplied with a set of instructions to support assembly.

Booking Delivery

You will be required to book your delivery date at the time of placing your order (except for Metal Shed). Our 'Request a Delivery Date' service is available to the majority of areas and you'll find that the majority of the UK postcodes are FREE but some areas may incur a delivery surcharge and some postcodes are not covered at all. Select a 'requested delivery date' by entering your postcode in the 'Request a delivery date' section above. You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays. These estimated lead times are provided by the manufacturer. Some remote areas will take a little longer.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an unsafe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 Weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.
